MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. Specifically, the CVE_2007_5659 heuristic indicates the use of a known exploit technique involving the Collab.collectEmailInfo object to execute JavaScript. This script is likely designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, as suggested by the presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files named 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js'. The ClamAV detection further confirms the malicious nature of the file.
